„The book is, essentially, quite readable and the abundance of figures will help the reader follow the discussions in the text. Most chapters, especially that on A4F, contain adequate references to the literature, including many to relatively recent publications.“ (Anal Bioanal Chem, 27 December 2011)

Light Scattering, Size Exclusion Chromatography and Asymmetric Flow Field Flow Fractionation

Powerful Tools for the Characterization of Polymers, Proteins and Nanoparticles

von Stepan Podzimek
A comprehensive, practical approach to three powerful methods ofpolymer analysis and characterization
This book serves as a complete compendium of three importantmethods widely used for the characterization of synthetic andnatural polymers--light scattering, size exclusionchromatography (SEC), and asymmetric flow field flow fractionation(A4F). Featuring numerous up-to-date examples of experimentalresults obtained by light scattering, SEC, and A4F measurements, Light Scattering, Size Exclusion Chromatography and Asymmetric FlowField Flow Fractionation takes an all-in-one approach to deliver acomplete and thorough explanation of the principles, theories, andinstrumentation needed to characterize polymers from the viewpointof their molar mass distribution, size, branching, and aggregation. This comprehensive resource:
* Is the only book gathering light scattering, size exclusionchromatography, and asymmetric flow field flow fractionation into asingle text
* Systematically compares results of size exclusion chromatographywith results of asymmetric flow field flow fractionation, and howthese two methods complement each other
* Provides in-depth guidelines for reproducible and correctdetermination of molar mass and molecular size of polymers usingSEC or A4F coupled with a multi-angle light scattering detector
* Offers a detailed overview of the methodology, detection, andcharacterization of polymer branching
Light Scattering, Size Exclusion Chromatography and AsymmetricFlow Field Flow Fractionation should be of great interest to allthose engaged in the polymer analysis and characterization inindustrial and university research, as well as in manufacturingquality control laboratories. Both beginners and experienced canconfidently rely on this volume to confirm their own understandingor to help interpret their results.
